It’s a bit of a problem for college football that the narrative coming out of these games is that the result is an indictment of the committee and the loser of the game (except for guys like Finebaum saying Ohio State is the championship favorite now since he needs to do that to keep glazing the SEC).

We don’t watch KC blow Miami off the field in the playoffs last year and say “man, Miami NEVER should have made the playoffs!  Team X should have gotten in over them!”  We talk about how great the Chiefs are.  But as long as college football fights against an objective system to select playoff teams and insists on using a political process instead, the narrative is always going to be a negative one coming out of playoff games.

I hate Ohio State, but I can’t believe how hard I rooted for them and was thrilled they blew Tennessee off the field.  It did take a lot of wind out of the SEC-homer narrative that SMU and Indiana didn’t belong after the Vols got blown out also.
